Abstract

The focus of translation has shifted from the macro level of isolated linguistic units to the macro level of the socio-cultural context in which the translation act takes places. It means that translation has played quite significant role in communicating and exchanging social and cultural information. The aim of this study is to find out the cultural terms in the Indonesian novel Bumi Manusia, the techniques of translation applied by the translator, and to explain how the techniques applied reflect the ideology of translation. The method of collecting data in this study was through observing by note-taking technique. The collected data were analyzed descriptively using qualitative method. There were 187 data of five categories of cultural terms, fourteen idioms, four sayings, and fourteen techniques identified in the novel. The most tendency of application of ideology of translation in translating the cultural terms related to Javanese culture was domestication ideology (78, 20%), it showed that the translation was oriented to TL. The next orientation used in the translation of the cultural terms was followed by foreignization ideology 12%), it showed that the translator tried to introduce Javanese cultural terms to the target readers using SL-oriented. The last tendency was partial foreignization and partial domestication (10,8%), it showed that the translation was partially oriented to SL and partially oriented to TL.

Abstract

This study was an experimental research aimed at examining the effectiveness of Know-Want-Learned and Collaborative Strategic Reading strategies to teach reading comprehension to the eleventh grade students with positive and negative attitudes in SMAN 2 Mranggen, Demak. I used closed-ended questionnaire, observation checklist, and interview to categorize the students’ attitudes into positive and negative. Meanwhile, I used reading comprehension test to test the students’ ability in reading comprehension. The study revealed five results. First, KWL was more effective to students with positive attitudes. Second, CSR was more effective to students with positive attitudes. Third, none was more effective between KWL and CSR strategies to students with positive attitude. Fourth, CSR was more effective than KWL to students with negative attitudes. The last, there was no significant interaction between the strategies and attitudes to teach reading comprehension. However, it could be said that the significance was low. In conclusion, this study has proven that KWL and CSR could help the students in reading comprehension for both students with positive and negative attitudes.

Abstract

This current study tried to examine online brainwriting compared to brainstorming as prewriting strategies in improving the writing skills of students with high and low frequency of LLS. 2 x 2 factorial design of experimental research was carried out to collect the data from 60 college students majoring in Dance Education. Two experimental groups, A and B, were given two different treatments: online brainwriting and brainstorming. SILL by Oxford (1990) was used to determine whether the students have high or low frequency of LLS.The ANOVA test showed ρ=0.000 for both online brainwriting and brainstorming which prove effectiveness of both techniques. It is also found that online brainwriting is proven to be significant for both high and low frequency of LLS students with ρ=0.000. Brainstorming, on the other side, is only significant for high frequency of LLS students with ρ=0.000, yet is proven insignificant for low frequency of LLS students with ρ=0.039.  However, the results showed there was no interaction between the use of prewriting strategies and the frequency of LLS which was proven by the ρ=0.529. Future researchers might consider having a mixed method of study in comparing those two strategies to get more precise results.

Abstract

Any student goes to the classroom with his/her own cultural identity. In other words, Every student comes to the classroom with a set of characteristics and behaviors that make him or her unique and that will affect his or her academic achievements in the future.

Secondly, the findings obviously showed the positive influence of cultural identities on the process of second language acquisition and students academic achievements in the future. Thirdly, it was briefly revealed that to adapt English as a second language it is needed to exceed the negative intrinsic and extrinsic factors while taking place the positive factors, in general the negative factors which arose in the results somehow mislead them to achieve the completely adaption. Some pedagogical suggestions from the writer were recommended to students,  teachers  and  institutions:  For  students  to  be  more  brave,  open-minded  and outgoing (no shyness in education). The necessity of teachers conversant for culture diverse during learning context and finally, The Ministry of Indonesian Education has the choice to improve English language interest by involving it in all schools not only the International, but also in national institutions to be language of education.

Abstract

Writing as the productive skill is considered to be more difficult than any other productive skill. Students face difficulties and commit errors in many different writing skills, especially in mechanics (punctuation, capitalization, and spelling).The study examined the errors of writing skill that  face  first year English college  students of Al-Merghib  University in  related  to  the  three mechanics. There were thirty participants of different genders in the study. They were thirteen males and seventeen females who studies in the first year of English college in Al-Meghib University. To achieve the objectives of the study, qualitative design was employed. The data was collected using two methods: 1) questionnaire to check the participants knowledge about the punctuation, capitalization, and spelling usage and 2) a test to analyze these errors in the respondents written language. To analyze the data, simple statistics description was used. The result of the study found that capitalization error was the most committed one, followed by the punctuation error, and spelling error was the least error committed by the first year English college students. It was concluded that most of the respondents committed some errors because of their lack of knowledge, lack of balance in the curriculum and the influence of mother tongue. Writing classes must engage students with more practices than ask them to deliver lectures. Also, this study provides some helpful suggestions to avoid the identified errors. The study can be used as an insight to the next other researchers and as a reference for similar topics about writing skills. Teachers must pay deep attention to the use of all the punctuation marks, explain the conventions of capitalization, and clarify more about the spelling rules. Students should be encouraged to do home written assignments as much as possible.

Abstract

Politeness plays an essential role in communication. Politeness is presumably realized differently in textbooks written by native speakers and in textbooks written by non native speakers as they come from different cultural background.This study aims at investigating the difference of politeness realization in a textbook written by native speakers and a textbook by non native speakers.The subjects of the study were New Headway Intermediate Student’s Book and BahasaInggris SMA/MA/SMK/MAK Kelas X. Apart from the data taken from the textbooks, interview to two teachers who used the both textbooks were also conducted. The functional texts and model conversations displayed in the textbooks were analyzed using Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness strategies and Leech’s (1983) politeness principles.The findings reveal that the both textbooks employ all politeness strategies with equal percentages. In Headway, positive politeness is realized for 68%, bald-on record 24%, negative politeness 7%, and off record 2%. In BahasaInggris, positive politeness is realized for 71%, bald-on record 14%, negative politeness 11%, and off record 3%. Positive politeness are dominant in the both textbooks. Besides, the teachersreport they usually teach students explicitly and implicitly about the difference of politeness form one culture to another.
